+ | Pay attention to the following points when you build your URLs: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Use the page’s [[keyword|keywords]] in the file name. | ||
+ | * Use only two or three of the page’s keywords in the filename. | ||
+ | * Use-dashes-to-separate-single-words-in-the-file-name (not_with_underscores). | ||
+ | * Make your URLs as short as possible and avoid using any search engine unfriendly characters (e.g. "?&=*#$" or umlauts) in it. | ||
+ | * Define your [[http://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1235687|URL parameters]], so Google indexes your website correctly. | ||
+ | * Don’t use too many subfolders in your URL (e.g. http://www.example.com/folder1/subfolder1/subsubfolder1/keyword1-keyword). | ||
